So it is Friday
DD spent the whole week going school, doing her extra curricular classes (drama, gymnastics and swimming), playing with her bike, her friends, etc...I work full time and study part time.
She knew we were having macaroni cheese for dinner today because her dad made it yesterday. When was time to eat she had a major strop and almost threw a tantrum because she didn't want it, whit out even trying or sitting at the table. I managed to get her to sit and try the food by threatening with 'no DVD' (she usually watches one every Friday)...she did try and kept complaining and being rude all the time while i was eating and I gave few warnings she would be sent to her bedroom and stay there until tomorrow morning.
I finished my dinner and she was still complaining, I gave her 5 minutes to shut up and start eating, she kept complaining, so I directed her to her bedroom and told her t stay there and not talk to me until tomorrow.
She went to the sitting room and start to read books and I sent her back to bedroom and went to my own bedroom to finish my assignment.
She came with a drawing for me and I sent her back and said I wasn't interested.
She fell asleep.
I feel bad, maybe I over reacted, she isn't a fussy eater, but for me to be so rude, having a plate of good food in front of you whilst some people are starving just makes me lose it. She is sometimes so ungrateful, she has a perfect good life, but 6 is too young to appreciate it, isn't it?
If she had spoken to me properly I would probably be nicer but you know it is Friday, I have a course tomorrow, I just couldn't take it anymore.
But she is only 6...
Am I a monster?
